Metaphor

Dear Sage, The following prose is a metaphor, no doubt an imperfect one, of the first Good Friday...

"There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. Upon leaving its nest, it searches for a thorn tree and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And dying it rises above its own agony to out carol the lark and the nightingale. One superaltive song- existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen. And God in his heaven smiles. For the best is bought only at the cost of great pain... or so, says the legend." -- The Thorn Birds

I once lost a book, Without Seeing the Dawn, by Steven Javellana. My sister lent it to her friend years ago and never returned it. I felt so bad but of course I couldn't get mad at my sister. I searched and searched for a new copy until I found one on EBay a couple of years ago. They have stopped printing the book, but I was lucky to find out that EBay sells out-of-print books. Bought it at a discounted price and it still looked pretty good.

The Kids

Welcome!!!

Why do I keep a blog?

I'm a Husband to a TK lass, Physician (Internist) Medical Specialist and last but not the least, a Father to three wonderful daughters and a great son. They say that the next best thing we can give to our children aside from GOOD HABITS are GOOD MEMORIES. May the Lord Help me fill this Blog (www.thekid.tk) and their lives with Both.
Recently I also started updating www.TagKawayan.TK... ever since My kids started referring to TK as their "HOMETOWN"
